Radioactive Plume in South Carolina Leaking into Savannah River

(APN) ATLANTA -- The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) confirmed to the South Carolina Governor's Nuclear Advisory Council recently that a plume of radioactive Tritium is moving off the Barnwell Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility, in Barnwell, South Carolina.

The plume is traveling in the groundwater southwest toward the Savannah River Site.

Janiee Poe: This just in from WVDHHR>>water advisory for PREGNANT WOMEN>>>or any living thing as far as I am concern

This just in from WVDHHR: **WATER ADVISORY FOR PREGNANT WOMEN**

The West Virginia Bureau for Public Health advises, after consultation with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) this evening, that the CDC recommends—out of an abundance of caution—that pregnant women drink bottled water until there are no longer detectable levels of MCHM in the water distribution system. However, the CDC re-affirmed previous advice that it does not anticipate any adverse health effects from levels less than 1 ppm. Guidance from the CDC is attached.

As we have all learned, the Freedom Industries storage facility had not been inspected since 1991. That is simply absurd, and a deeply disturbing revelation about gaps in government oversight and enforcement that have jeopardized the public’s health and seriously damaged our economy. We need better oversight and we need to act quickly. Currently, in West Virginia, there is no requirement that chemical storage facilities, like the one owned by Freedom Industries, be inspected whatsoever. State officials have said they want to address this lack of oversight, and I’m encouraged by that.But, this issue is not just a West Virginia issue. Chemical storage facilities exist in countless communities across the country. I often hear complaints that regulations are too costly or that industries should be allowed to regulate themselves.

Clearly, this approach has failed hundreds of thousands of West Virginians. I believe that the federal government must also play a role in the oversight and inspection of these facilities. I am working with my colleagues to identify ways to improve the federal government’s role in this area.
